Plutonium reprocessing is dirty and dangerous. So why do it beside the Bay of Fundy?

Plutonium reprocessing has never been done commercially in Canada – and it was informally banned in the 1970s. Now the New Brunswick government and NB Power are supporting a plan to reprocess plutonium at the Point Lepreau Nuclear site. Reprocessing operations are the most contaminated sites in the world. So why are we planning to do it at all, and why beside the Bay of Fundy? We need to stop this plan now. Send a letter to federal Environment and Climate Change Minister Steven Guilbeault, HERE.
